Two new classification orders are available on the USPTO web site. Order 1858, published last month, covers Class 348 – Television. Order 1859, published in February, affects Class 192 – Clutches and Power-Stop Control.

Interestingly, Order 1859 has a USPC-ECLA concordance section in addition to the standard USPC-IPC concordance. Could this be a sign that the USPTO is planning to use ECLA codes or is it part of the E-subclass Project started in 2002?
